The rise of up to 90% of the price of beans on supermarket shelves became a topic of concern in Alagoas. Because of this, the Procon Alagoas makes an assessment of the rise of product prices and provides guidance to consumers.
The cause of this price increase is in the field. According to the Brazilian Institute of beans (Ibrafe), the climate problem is the main cause of the drop in bean production in Brazil, which brings reflecting rising prices.
After analysis and research, the superintendent of Procon Alagoas, Flavia Cavalcante, explains the reason for the increase. "We as a national advocate, also concerned about the prices of products. We were behind the reason for the price rise in beans, to know what was going on. The answer was the weather: rain punished crops and eventually affecting most of the production. "
The scenario was repeated in several producing regions, and less beans in the market, prices soared. "Unfortunately, it is the law of supply and demand, when no product, the result is the price increase," said Cavalcante.
The technicians Ibrafe predict that the price should fall slightly in the coming months, but goes back up in September when start planting the next crop.
The Alagoas Procon also recommends that, to save this time low crop carioca beans, give preference to the use of different types of beans. "Black beans, for example, can be imported and usually 40% cheaper," concluded Flavia Cavalcante.
